Launchpad Pro MK3, Launchkey Mini MK3, and Launchkey MK4 Mini feature a 3.5mm TRS MIDI port which follows the specifications introduced in the MIDI Association standard in 2018 - this follows the Type A specification.
Previously our products used Type B, but as of the Launchkey Mini MK3, they follow and use the MIDI Association standard and use Type A.
The table below shows which product uses which specification:
| Type A | Type B |
|---|---|
| Launchkey Mini MK3 | Circuit |
| Launchpad Pro MK3 | Circuit Mono Station |
| Launchkey MK4 Mini | Launchpad Pro |
